Coloring Day

Hello all!

Here are the pictures of our Coloring Day. We had 6 kids-2 and under, 5 moms, and 1 grandma over to our house. We thought we would be making Christmas presents, but when I went out shopping I found these aprons. I did find the dish towels I had been looking for, but they ended up not working--for some reason the crayon didn't iron onto the fabric. That was sad. I'll have to think of new Christmas presents!

Anyways, I found a pack of iron-on crayons for about $3, and aprons at half price (about $1.50 each) so a very reasonable project. The kids went back and forth from the coloring table to toys. And some moms did more coloring than others. ;) But we had a great time. Then there was a mad rush to get everyone out the door, because we had to leave for supper and clubs at church that evening.

Wonderful craziness. I would definitely do it again!!

Transportation

Hello everyone!

I'm back and working on Christmas presents!! Last Christmas I had a felt board made for my daughter. She was a little too young to actually do much with it, but this Christmas we (my brother and I) are working on a felt-figure swap. We decided it would be a fun and creative gift exchange between the cousins.

Transportation has been my theme so far. I made:
Grandpa's kayak with little E. and Kj. sitting in it.
A sailboat inspired by Max's in Where the Wild Things Are.
A car and truck inspired by borrowed toys.

Next, I will be making some geometric figures and also some flowers. Any other ideas, you can let me know.

By the way, this project is inspired by: Three Sneaky Bugs.
